Oh yes. Now that I have more time than I know what to do with, I have decided to try and build a model of the Fenris, out of balso wood.
Now, I have no idea how I will do it, so does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: Hmm, does this really belong in FSModding?

Ye gods man, you really need to get yourself off the spoons!

Anyways, I don't think you'll buy a block of balsa wide enough from your average model store.... you may well have to buy several sheets and glue them together. Just be sure to use a really, really sharp knife, and take off tiny ammounts at a time. And if you're going to paint it, seal it with some sort of spray varnish first.

Well that's what I've been thinking about.
I might build it in parts, and then attach them together.
The nose could be one piece, then the central part, then the engines, the stalk bit would be another, and finally the turrets.

Hmm, after giving it thought, I have decided to make the model in parts, and attach them, as I said earlier. However, in order to do this, I will need the separate parts to be able to work from.

To this end, I shall ask a favour of the modellers out there. Can someone with modelling experience please take the Fenris model, and cut it where I have marked?

Anyone have the link? I saw it once a long time ago but never could find it again.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Make a Fenris then call it a Leviathan, there's a compromise.

I'd be interested to see if you could pull this off. If you do, I would definantly try myself (provided it doesn't cost too much)

Someone needs to illustrate the full-size scale of a Fenris.  Overlay it with a few football fields, or something. ;)

Also, I could build a few cargo containers with the offcuts, as they should be quite simple.
